"They have all the answers to the test."

The Oklahoma City Thunder advance to the Western Conference Semifinals! NBA Playoffs presented by @Google

@Jedwarren35 @SwipaCam Not to mention the year they had a shot a two 1op 5 picks and walked away with only pick 6
English

@SwipaCam Acting like OKC is lucky when they traded for all of Houston's picks and not a single one conveyed is wild.
English

The Thunder are definitely one of the luckiest teams I’ve ever seen.
Teams have had assets for years but they’ve managed to luck into some truly generational draft talent.

@trucker_muscle @_utilitysports @slog1 @MemphisX_NBA This sounds like the reasonings people made that made cam reddish a top 10 pick.

@_utilitysports @slog1 @MemphisX_NBA You're overthinking it again sir, AJ is 6-9 220 at 19 years old, moves his feet extremely well, can jump out of the gym, and plays hard every night for an overmatched team.
He can more than hold his own defensively on an NBA basketball court

@HPbasketball Pretty interesting idea, would Milwaukee, OKC. Ever get any players?

A matching system similar to the medical resident system. Teams rank their prospects and submit securely on draft day. Prospects do the same. Everyone puts Lakers and Knicks tops but make less money with smaller roles and only one star makes it.
Worst teams get priority on match but if the prospect ranks you last…

If you want to abolish the draft, what’s the solution?
English

@HPbasketball Can someone explain why this such an issue suddenly? Teams have tanked forever.
English

@HPbasketball I like the draft, I don’t mind tanking, I think people just like to whine. The draft already messed up changing the lottery odds they don’t need to change it any further. De incentivize mediocrity not tanking. Would you rather have 2 years down like Okc Hou SA or a decade of Chi

@dalepartridge @JoelWebbon My takeaway: she can do better.

Interracial Marriage.
As a Christian man happily married to a Mexican/Spanish/American woman, I actually agree with @JoelWebbon
Interracial marriage is not the “ideal.”
Now, like Joel, I do not believe it is sinful, and if providence positions two Christians from different ethnic backgrounds to unite in marriage, it can be a glorious thing (which it has been for us).
However, interracial marriage does create a variety of additional hurdles in marriage and family life, from overcoming different family expectations and cultural traditions to a wife’s assimilation into her husband’s culture. In addition, the husband must learn how his wife’s ethnos has shaped her instincts, sensitivities, and assumptions.
There are also external factors from extended family that can feel awkward or frustrating. Identity politics still prevail in a fallen world and cause conflict along the way.
To some degree, all of this can extend to children and their lives, spouses, etc.
Now, by God’s grace, He gives those believers called to these unique marriages the endurance to overcome these hurdles, but unity has undoubtedly been more difficult for us than for couples who share the same ethnic background.
So, while we live in a multicultural mess that has assumed that the melting pot mentality is just as desirable as sharing ethnic similarities and culture, it’s not. It’s possible with Christ but it comes with its own unique hardships.
